Damn... so you order 2 day air ... no one's home to receive.. don't need the parts till the weekend.. UPS does their job .. and still bitch?
Was nice of your dad to go out ther eand pick them up... but ... if you don't need them till the weekend... they the rush to get it today? UPS woulda been by again tomorrow (er today) ... and w/a note they'd most likely have left the packge (or w/a signature on the paper they left)

RAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
down killer, down!
I know what you're saying, but I think he ordered 2nd day to make sure he would have it, I dunno. My personal luck has been that if I try to get some exactly when I need it some little bullshit detail comes up and then I get screwed, so I can understand ordering it in advance.
I can also understand UPS though. As annoying as it is having to sign, imagine if they left it and someone ran off with it, or someone was trying to scam ups fori nsurance money, etc. They have to cover their asses too. Also you can probably, next time, tell intense to send it no signature required if you really don't want to sign for it.
on a nother note .......
Your level of service from UPS varies greatly with the driver on your route. I've had real shitty drivers ... one guy left a $400 computer part in a friggin snowbank at the end of my driveway (when i lived at home), I had another who would randomly not show up, but yet I had anther who would call me on his cell phone to make sure i was home and sometimes he stop by twice a day so if he mised me in the morning he'd swing back through on the way back......
